The sugar in DNA is 2-deoxyribose, a pentose sugar (meaning it has 5 carbons).
Deoxyribose is a 5 carbon pentose which has one less oxygen molecule compared to pentose ribose. Deoxyribose is found in DNA

What molecule is found in DNA but not in RNA?
The SUGAR found in DNA but not RNA is Codo.
What type of sugar makes up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
What types of sugar is found in DNA?
The sugar that is found in DNA is known as deoxyribose.
What is the name of the sugar molecule in the DNA helix?
Deoxyribose.
What is sugar in DNA?
Deoxyribose is found in DNA while ribose is found in RNA.
What molecule is found in DNA but not in RNA?
The SUGAR found in DNA but not RNA is Codo.
What is the name of the sugar molecule found in DNA necleotides?
Deoxyribose.
What is the name of the sugar molecules found in DNA?
The sugar that is found in DNA is called Deoxyribose
What is the difference between DNA Molecule and RNA molecule?
A DNA molecule is made up of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar. A DNA molecule is double stranded whilst a RNA molecule is single stranded. A DNA molecule only contains the bases; Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. However a RNA molecule contains the bases; Uracil, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine. DNA is only found in the nucleus of a cell, while RNA is found in the cytoplasm.
What type of sugar makes up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
What is the DNA sugar molecule?
Deoxyribose
What sugar is present in the backbone of a DNA molecule?
The sugar is deoxyribose.
Does DNA contains a sugar?
deoxyribose is present in the backbone of DNA, hence DNA's name: deoxyribonucleic acid.
What five carbon- sugar is found in the DNA?
The five carbon-sugar that is found in DNA is called deoxyribose. It forms the backbone of the DNA molecule, along with the phosphate group, and helps to link the individual nucleotides together to form the double helix structure.
What sugar molecules is involved in the structure of DNA?
The sugar molecule is deoxyribose.
What types of sugar is found in DNA?
The sugar that is found in DNA is known as deoxyribose.
A DNA molecule consists of how many stands?
The DNA molecule has two strands connected by a sugar phosphate backbone.
